Campus Center Redecorated " by Veronica Shea

-;~The Champagnat Campus Center has been a main focus of attention over the last few weeks, as im­provements continue to be added.

Among the more obvious changes is the installment of new carpeting and furniture in the Browsing Library. Ac­cording to Betty Yeagiin, Coordinator of College Activities, there is still another truckload of furniture due to arrive. "It was to be here at the beginn­ing of the semester, so it was probably mislaid. 'We had hoped to have everything completed by the opening of the semester, but we've run into pro­blems with the manufacturers," she adds. Two truckloads have already beeji received." :T" ; —

A new television had been added to Browsing in the beginning of last semester,'but after only a week and a half, there was an attempt to steal it. "The duty manager had already gone," explains Yeagiin, "and on the follow­ing morning, we found-the television all packed and ready to go. Somebody must have_cdme and scared them off while they were in the process."

Currently, she is seeking a way to secure the set to a stand so students

-can enjoy the "living room" at­mosphere. "I feel that there should be at least one room in this building that is always open to students." Yeagiin prornises that-^np. reservations will be tak"eh"for^'fie"Br6wsirig"Library'fbr'Stu-

dent meetings or other groups,' with the rare exception of conferences, so it will always be available. She is look­ing into the possibility of strip lightings

- on the walls, since she feels that the lights on the ceiling are too high for reading. She would also like to subscribe'to a few newspapers and magazines that .would be accessible daily. - Just outside Browsing is the Gallery Lounge, where the carpeting has been removed and replaced with tile. "We. plan to put permanent furniture in the form of benches and tables in the alcoves," Yeagiin specifies, but dif­ficulty has been found in the problem of how to bolt them in. In addition, the walls have been re-vinyled to improve

; the appearance of the hallway. Yeagiin is now unsure about artists displaying

.their work. "An artist is taking a chance when he puts his display up. A few pieces have been stolen, although all but one have been recovered." Yeagiin adds that the nails to hang the

; Daintings could ruin the new vinyl. In the near future are plans for an

elevator for the three levels of the Campus Center in the area adjacent to the Fireside Loung. It would make the second level of the center more ac­cessible to the handicapped, who must now use the side theater en­trance. It use would also benefit din­ing service and campus center

Preview of "Wait Until Dark" "Wait Until Dark," a suspense

drama written by Fredrick Knott, will be performed at the Marist Theatre this weekend. The performances are Friday at 7:30, Saturday at 8:00 and a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are .50* for Marist students, $1.50 for the Marist Community and $3.00 general admission.

The play is directed by Jan Denison, who is well-known to Marist. She has directed many past dramas, such as "The Miracle Worker" and "Children's Hour." She is also the managing direc­tor of C.E.R.T. (Community Experimen­tal Repatory Theatre), a non-profit pro­fessional touring company. -

Denison has enjoyed working with

the cast, whose members are Arlene Hutnan, Bill Nolan,, Jeff Knox, Phil Legare, Dawn-Marie Sturtevant, Vic Small, Dan Benoit and Mark Fingar. _

The plot of the drama concerns a young blind woman who inadvertantly gets possession of a doll that three con-men are after.

"What I love about this play is the tremendous . build-up it has" says Denison. "The technical aspects were very difficult." Since Suzy (Arlene Hut-nan) is blind, the timing is important. The cast and crew had to work hard to strive for realism. The talent of the cast and the hard work of the crew have produced a worthwhile produc­tion of "Wait Until Dark"!

Leggett Joins Security Force . by Peter Fredsall

. and Grace M. Gallagher

Livingston Policeman Ken Leggett is'one of the newest security officers currently working at'Marist. Leggett, who was hired last October, is im­pressed with the student security guards with whom he works - "They all know what they're doing" comments the twenty-six year old supervisor: Mr. Leggett states that he neyers feels bored while working a long security, shift. "There is always something else to check- on campus." When asked how he gets along with the student population in general, he replied "Most of the students tend to be very respectful towards security, and ex­cept for the times when you've got so-

- meone talking",through the booze, the

kids are very nice." Leggett "does not feel the job is dangerous and has felt there haven't been any really serious problems as of yet. .

Ken Leggett is not sure how long he plans to remain at Marist, but says he enjoys being part of the campus com­munity and that he has always wanted to be involved in this line of work.."I can't say how long I'll be at any ofte point in my life."

Leggett studied Criminal Justice at Dutchess Community College for a year and a half and tentatively hopes to resume his studies this fall as. Marist College. Ken Leggett seems tc be held in high esteem by his fellow workers. In the words of security of ficer Jim Kurz "I think he's a ver> dynamic individual and that he will go far." - • • - ' • - - -

Year of the Handicapped by Thomas Hassett

The year 1981 "marks the Interna­tional Year of the Handicapped. In our recent past, 1979 was the highly publicized Year of the Child, while 1980 was the forgotten Year of the Ag­ed. One Marist student is attempting to make people aware of, and more im­portantly, not to forget 1981 as the Year of the Handicapped.

James Slater, an English major at Marist, is currently interning at the Poughkeepsie Journal. His internship involves a series of articles on the plight of the disabled. "I am trying to break down the myths and pre­judices," said Slater, who is a disabled student. As well, Slater is writing the articles in ah attempt to "make people aware of things that make them un­comfortable about people who are disabled."

The articles, which appear each Sunday in the Poughkeepsie Journal, focus on the attempt to ban the idea that the disabled are a "subculture" according to Slater.

Slater said, "Disability is no picnic Being disabled is not nice, but when someone mentions the word disabled, all negative feelings come about.". Slater feels that through his articles, he will be able to correct this way of looking at -.the/disabled person. .

Slater would like to publicly thank the people at the Poughkeepsie Jour-nal'forthis opportunity, especially Bil; Puknel and Leclare Wood, the "Life and Leisure" editor at The Journal. "They have been golden with their will­ingness to co-operate," said Slater.

Slater has agreed to let his series of articles appear in The Circle in subsequent issues.

Little Sisters-Big Hearts

by Evelyn Greco

The Little Sisters of Sigma Phi Ep-sllon are just not the "other half" of the fraternity, but an organization that tries to bring an atmosphere of friend­ship and. fun through hard work and dedication to the Marist-Community. This group v' consist of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, liv­ing in different dorms, and even young ladies that live off campus. The group islnot a sorority, clique, or a bunch of girls that just get together to sip soda at their Sunday night meetings.

One of the main objectives of the Little Sisters is to help the community, whether it be Marist or Ddtchess County. Some of the events the girls have sponsored in the past are the blood drive with the fraternity, a clean­up of the campus, and the selling of carnations. The proceeds from the flower sale are going towards a gift for

the fraternity on their anniversary. Some future events lined up on the

girls'calendars are a daffodil sale thai will benefit the National Cancer Socie­ty, and an involvement with the Big . Brother/Little Sister Progranv in Dut­chess County. Also, the girls will help ' with the upcoming blood drive.

Little Sisters is a national organiza-. tion, which welcomes girls to any of their chapters all over the country. This group displays friendliness, . \ respect for others ""and a feeling of closeness, as. stated by. President Laurie Washburn. She feels the group has alot to offer, but hasn't had the support it really heeds. Their recent membership drive has attracted 16 new candidates. The requirements to be a Little Sister do not depend on height, wejght'or color, but on the will­ingness to devote part of one's self to a worthy cause.

Unpack Your Suitcase

"This campus community is becom­ing a suitcase college," believes several Marist students, who felt strongly enough to write a letter in last week's edition of "The Circle." Is this really true? It is difficult to say.

Yes, many students do go home for the weekends, but for many different reasons. While some weekends may seem a bit duller than others, there are many Fridays and Saturdays to com­pensate for them. , ;,,,..,; , , ,.;....'„;,...

Yes, many events are poorly attend­ed, and a reason for this can be due to the lack of advertising, as the letter says. It is the responsibility of the peo­ple who sponsor such events to also advertise them. Posting signs, having WMCR announce activities and printing the events in the "Weekly Happenings" are ways in which to ensure widespread advertising.

Yes, there may not be any roller-skating or sport trips to the city this semester, but what about Tuesday night bowling leagues, the buses to the away basketball games and the three major theater productions scheduled for this semester? Have we also forgot­ten about the CUB fi lms (which have become very popular this semester), the upcoming lectures (Herb Brooks has already been scheduled), and the

speciai ta lents (such as Trent Arterberry, the famous mime)? u

The blame should not be placed on the Campus Center. Reserving a regular classroom for a club meeting or study group differs greatly from reserving the theater. A classroom or conference room can be reserved only a few days in advance, and fil l ing out a "room re­quest" sheet is not too much to ask It is much safer to have the room signed out ithan to just .go ahead ancLrjave a group meeting, assuming that the'jrbtirri wil l be free for the entire time period. The theater creates more pressures, however, due to the technical work in­volved, such as setting up lights, microphones, and any other electrical equipment needed. .

The Campus Center is there to serve the students, not aggravate them. The standard procedures involved - may seem a litt le bothersome at times, but they are only ways of displaying fairness and maintaining organization.

As far as where the fifty dollar stu­dent activity fee is going; who knows for sure? Let's remember, however, that it is the students who make or break an event; and our school spirit, interest and support can change "Suitcase Col­lege" into Marist College once again.

by Ruth Warren

February... Honestly, I think February is • / the worst month of the year for a college / student. It really isn't a very pleasant month when you think about it.

And believe me, I have been thinking about it. God, do I wish it was April. What a . joy it will be to wake to hear the birds sing­ing, to allow a fresh breeze to air out my musty apartment, and to be able to drive down to school from Kingston and back, with the windows cranked down and the . stereo cranked up.

You must be sick and tired of this cold weather, too. (And has it ever been c-o-l-d!) The sweathers I once thought were warm and cuddly have lost their charm. The fake fur on my coat is becoming dingy and mat­ted. Even a snowy winter wonderland has lit­tle magic left for me. -

(Wait a minute. I take that last statement back. I know I'm in trouble when the day comes that a snow-studded fantasy world doesn't leave a smile on my face.)

But this icy, cold and bleak season they

• • •

call winter has got to come to an end. Being in college only makes thing worse. The only thing I seem to have to look forward to for the next few weeks are sleepless nights and weekend dates with the books preparing for midterms.

Some life, isn't it? I think it is safe to say that the month of

February wasn't designed with the college student in mind. (Except maybe if the col­lege is located in Florida or California!) Where are the pleasant distractions? Where are the frisbees? When will I hear music blasting across the campus from stereo speakers propped in the open windows of a dorm room? When can I stop wearing this buiky winter coat that is never warm enough?

Forgive me. You must have better things to do than listen to me ramble on and on about a common case of February blues You've got your own blues, right?

Cheer up. Spring can't be too much fur­ther around the bend... I saw a frisbee flyina through the air today.

Readers Write AH letter* must be typed triple space with o 60 «pac« margin, ond submitted to the Circle off ice no later than 6 p.m. Monday. Short letters are preferred.

Free The Students

Dear Editor, We would like to call to the

attention of the students, faculty, and administration, the discrimination that is be­ing shown to the first floor Sheahan. There werer some damages caused in Sheahan Hall and the first floor is being punished for this act of a few inconsiderate individuals. They all have a curfew for something they all did not do. They are suppose to be inno­cent until proven guilty but they are being punished without any hard facts about the guilty parties. Is this an in-sitution of higher learning or a nursery school? It is quite un­fair for 18 and 19 year olds to be treated in such a juvenile manner. We are suppose to be able to grow on our own. You often wonder why Marist is quickly becoming a "suitcase college." All of the first floor is anxious to go home to get away from their curfews. When you apply a curfew, it

implies a negative attitude that people are bound to rebel against. -.-."• ' >

The students of first floor Sheahan are willing and able to talk to the administration about this problem, but receive the brush off.. The burden is passed from one person to another. This is one right that has been violated, as stated on page. 12, column 2 of the Student Handbook, 1980-81, If you can't turn to the administration, who can you turn to? A verdict is being stated here without the privilege of freedom of speech.

We would like the coopera­tion of all the interested peo­ple in "freeing" the students of first floor Sheahan. Any suggestions you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely Beth Chiaviello

ATwo Legged Buffalo by Donald Gately

Staff writer

Upon seeing Bill Graham wandering around the Marist College campus, it would take a good deal of convincing to make someone believe that he is the president of Marist's senior class. Clad in an old Army fatigue jacket, crew "T" shirt, sneakers and a Califor­nia Angels cap, he hardly dresses the part. The fact remains, however, Bill Graham is the president of the senior class. He is also a very' honest, outspoken and fun loving member of the college community.

Bill, or Buffalo as most people know him, has enjoyed his- position very much. "I wanted to have a .good senior year," says Buffalo, "and i figured the best way to do it would be to get in­volved." The position has taught him a great deal. "I never realized that there was so much red tape involved," he remarks. "You've got to learn to work with students, faculty and ad­ministrators, as well as working' with all the formalities involved in getting things done. Learning to cut through this red tape will help me a lot when I'm out of here."

Buffalo's only regret concerning the job is that it has prevented him from rowing crew this semester. He has been rowing since high school and for his first three years here, he has been

an outstanding member of Marist's team. His absence will be missed by the members of the team, as well as by himself.

An outspoken student, Buffalo has a new opinions on the operations of Marist College.*"Being part of a small college," he reflects; "Marist students have a much better opportunity to get to know other students and ad­ministrators. There's more personal attention at a school like this." While he praises the school in many ways, Buffalo also points out some of its faults.. "In the past two years so many rules have been put on the student. Rules and regulations are Important, but in many ways the school has gone overboard. The student needs some room to grow." It was.partly for this reason that he choose to spend his senior year living off campus. "I had a hell of a time living on campus for three years, but rules made it unadvan-tageous for an upperclassman to live on anymore."

He blames the freshman dorm con­cept for allowing traditions to die out on campus, "There's not enough in­teraction between the upper and lower classes. They don't have anyone to show them the ropes."

Perhaps he is least known for (but not least proud of), his role as a

founder of Phi Tappa Kegga, the , x "unofficial" fraternity on campus. He describes the day it was conceived, "I think me and Tom Rooney were in the ' showers talking about how much we liked the idea of a fraternity. We just didn't like the part about having to pay dues and making up rules like the other fraternity. So we just made it up right there. No rules, no money, just a bunch of guys hanging around having a good time. I hope the younger guys keep it going after I'm out of here."

Most importantly, Buffalo loves to laugh and have a good time. "I just like to hang out with the boys having a few cocktails," he says. "In my four years here I've met a lot of good people and had some great times." Buffalo laughs and smiles as he describes some of the funniest things that have happen­ed while he's been at Marist, ie., put­ting Dick Keeling under the second floor Christmas tree. "He just laid there for two hours with a bow under his chin screaming and cursing at us."

When asked about his ac­complishments at Marist, he thoughtfully replies, "Hopefully I've made a few people laugh. They've sure given me a lot of laughs." Don't worry about that Buffalo, you'll always be

. able to make us laugh!

On February 12, the students of Marist college were treated to the music of Greg Greenway and his part­ner Doug Wray. This became a Thursday night not to forget at Fireside Lounge. ., The> atrnosphere,was just right as

GregFand'Doug opened-the'shdw. The, songs resembled those of Jackson Browne, but the style of Greg Green­way and Doug Wray definitely shone through. Greg carried the vocals, while Doug's bass guitar enhanced the feel­ing. The result was a warm and vibrant relationship between the artists and the audience throughout the perfor­mance. " Many in the audience mentioned how much Greg looked-like Jackson-

.Browne. This brought about requests for music by Jackson Browne, Neil Young, and other artists: Greg had to tell the audience honestly that they

only play their own music. ,This approach is certainly different,

but not unheard of by artists going out to make their music and themselves stand out in the recording industry. Greg confirmed that relying on other artists' music in conjunction with their own was not their policy. Doug echoed this feeling..Certainly this policy can. lead, them to -recognltion^as musical artists. ,

The audience demonstrated its ap­proval with a standing ovation at the end of the performance. After an en­core, Greg and Doug left the campus very satisfied with their work. We hope to .see them here again in the near future. • • - . ' • '

Don Anderson: In Another Classroom by Alexandra Corcoran

Most people think of Greenhaven Prison as a place surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, a place where criminals are sent to be punished and rehabilitated. To Dr. Donald Anderson, Greenhaven is another classroom where he and other Marist College pro­fessors teach. Marist, along with Greenhaven, developed a program where inmates can take college level courses. .

Don, as fie likes to be called, has taught at Greenhaven for the last six years. At Marist he teaches such classes as Interpersonal Communica­t ion, Theatre Workshop and Oral Inter­pretation. At Greenhaven, he teaches Rhetoric of Exposition. The money was the first reason for taking the job, but then he realized the opportunity in it. "There is a tremendous amount of life experiences in there" states Don.

Teaching at a prison is very different from teaching on a college campus. One reason is that you are constantly being watched by the guards, while at the same time you are being observed by the prisone/s. "The inmates.seem to be very psychologically minded. They are into seeing the reactions that people have." He continued by saying that the. teachers give the prisoners something different to look at instead of each other. It" is the mind oriented games they play that keep their minds active. Their only companion is their mind.

Many of the inmates take the courses just to get out of their cells. They really do not know why they are there, but the majority of them do want to better themselves. The fact that they are in.prison has taken some of their dignity and self-pride away. At­tending classes and learning is one way they restore this.

Don has seen the movie Scared Straight. He finds that portrayal of in­mates grossly misleading. He finds the inmates to be very bright in­dividuals, "Not like the , common stereo-types. They are much more receptive to things." The inmates keep in touch with current events such as new writers and fi lms. Even their writ ing is current. " I f ind them very am­bitious in their composit ions," says Don. j

Many of the inmates have also seen the f i lm, and were unimpressed. "The i n m a t e s •••..found" i t t a c k y and overplayed" according to Don.

The inmates pick up on a number of teacher's habits, such as missing classes or dressing-differently. " I usually don't wear a tie but sometimes I do " says Don. "They almost become defensive about it. The inmates become dependent on you and the

way you are. They do not like change." The classroom provides the inmates

with an opportunity to talk and to talk back. It is a form of freedom to them. "They will talk to you about anything" says ATiderson, "but most of the t ime they talk of how they got into prison. The inmates try to impress-you with their involvement with law break ing . " }

Don has not found the public unreceptive but has noticed some resistance from the prison community. "The guards wil l sometimes say to me. 'Why do you want to teach them?' or 'You inmate lover*." The guards ap­pear to resent the fact that inmates can receive a free educat ion; :

Even though Professor Anderson enjoys teaching at Greenhaven, he has decided to stop. " I t is very draining," (the atmosphere) he says. When asked if the program was worthwhile, Ander­son replied, " I t is a very important pro­gram that should be continued."

Time Out For the Lord You've Got A Friend Antioch Retreat by Mark R. Wegg

Assistant Campus Minister

On February 6, twenty Marist students went on retreat to Our Lady of Hope, Newburgh, for the entire weekend. (For those who are not familiar with " the terminology, a Retreat is a time set aside to seek the Lord in a quiet setting and enrich one's own spirituality). The word is really misleading since a successful retreat results in enabling one to carry on more "equipped" rather .than to retract oneself from responsibilities of one's life. The students ranged from Seniors to Freshmen/women with an equal number of male/ female.

"Moreover, the majority of those who made the retreat-were thosewho nor-; mally do" not participate in Campus Ministry. And perhaps it was some strange impulse of the Spirit which motivated them to attend,.since most were a bit apprehensive while being at the same time optimistically an­ticipatory. . • - • ; ; ;.'-•'

Ten lay people gave the Retreat and during the weekend they shared with the candidates what they knew the besi: the love of God seen t in their lives ; During the weekend, all par­ticipating experienced What a Faith Community is supposed to be about-Loving one another- Jesus said "By your love for one another others wil l know that you are my discip|es."

I would hate to tell you specifically what went on, since your curiosity might spur you oh to ask.a student who attended the retreat to share in his/her own words: But I would like to relate an incidence on the retreat which illustrates the Faith Community

built there. A couple giving the Retreat, Bruce and Judy Ackermann, brought their 8-month-old baby and he, Nicholas, was the star of the weekend. At times when Bruce, the leader, would speak and the baby was in his arms, it appeared that Nicholas really knew what his father was saying to the group and would respond accordingly.

One such time, while Bruce spoke about God's love--the baby held high in Bruce's arms, put his cheek on his father's shoulder. Another time as. everyone was applauding the baby for his auspicious presence at the end of the w e e k e n d , he s e e m e d to acknowledge the applause by raising his arms as if giving a papal greeting and sign of recognition. He was a sign of the Lord's presence with us. He .remlnded-usthat as.we^become more open to one another, and become more, like children, so we; are able to experience the Kingdom.

1 Hopefully, next year we wil l have another Antioch given mostly by Marist students this tirne-so as to pro­vide more opportunities to enrich Christian faith on! this campus, t h e eariy Christians vwere enthusiastic about their faiths And there's ho reason why we can't be just as en­thusiastic in a twentieth century con­text. We all perceived on the weekend, that "Christ is indeed the same yester­day, today and forever"-as we are be­ing transformed into happier, more loving people because of His love. That's true for anyone who is open-even those/turned off by. religion. It seems to me Jesus wasn't turned on to a lot of "holy"' things as much as he was turned on to God's love and care for a l lo t us.

Do you need a friend who really keeps secrets? Are you having pro­blems with courses? Emory Giovan­none could be the answer.

After earning his Associates Degree in Health, Giovannone spent two years in and out of the hospital. As a senior at Marist, he is serving a 12 credit psychology internship in the Career Development office. He is the first .to hold this position, which involves an outreach to all students who need so­meone to talk to and don't know where to go.

v "We're trying to f ind students w h o . "*need help with anything from course

advice to problems in boyfriend-, girlfr iend relat ionships," explains Giovannone, who is from Canajoharie, New York. He notes that this is a trial

"and error period for the program, and hopes that with the help and coopera­tion of students, the pilot program wil l become permanent.

A major problem facing the program is that students are unaware of its ex­istence. Giovannone says, "We hope to circulate news bulletins and display

; posters to advertise that this service is available." As a frequent reminder, the bulletins would be distributed to students every two or three weeks. In addition, he would like to encourage groups of students to tour the Career Placement Center. "We have a library

Rush Period to Begin by Dawn-Marie Sturtevant

.;-•• Staff Writer

Sigma Phi Epsilon, the only na­tionally recognized fraternity on cam­pus, is starting their rush period, ac­cording to Dominic Tampone, the fraternity's president, a rush is " a highly concentrated two-week period in which the fraternity makes itself visible to the campus."

Sigma Phi Epsilon touches "on three horizons; the service, social and academic" says Tampone. In the past the fraternity has organized blood drives, campus clean-ups, and has worked with the Admissions Office. They are presently organizing a fund­raiser for St. Francis Hospital.

The fraternity presently consists of 30 members. The members of their Ex­

ecutive Board are: President-Dominic Tampone, Vice-President-Mike Doher-ty, Controller-Chuck Petty, Recording Secretary-Kevin Sullivan and Cor­responding Secretary-Richard Daron-C O . • • . : : . _ ' . . . . - • : • -

After the rush all those interested wil l form a pledge class which wil l meet weekly for six to eight weeks. At the class the pledges wil l learn the-fraternity's history and participate in. different activities. Anyone interested can contact one of the Sigma Phi Ep­silon members.

Tampone feels the fraternity is a means " t o develop relationships and to expand others." The fraternity is close-knit and active on campus. Tam­pone says "one hand helps another" and that "once you're a brother, you're a brother for l i fe."

The Move to Division I /

How will It effect the Cross-Country Program by Brian Hartley

The Marist-College Cross-Country team has enjoyed exceptional suc­cess over the past ten years, but the continuation of that trend, at least in the eyes of the members of the current team, is threatened by the decision of this school's administration to move the basketball team to Division I. By NCAA rule, if the basketball team moves to Division I, all of the other sports, with the exception of football, must also , make ~ the move up.

.Members of the Marist Cross-Country team feel that this decision was not only extremely short-sighted, but made without any, or at least very lit­tle, consideration for any of the other sports here at Marist, especially cross­country. „ " T h i s decision wil l adversely affect the cross-country team because they will not receive any financial aid in the form of a th le t ic scho la r sh ips -scholarships being a significant factor in attracting thej jual i ty runners need­ed to compete successfully on a Divi­sion I level. Head cross-country Coach Bob Mayerhofer explains: "A l l finan­cial aid will be based on need. I'm real­ly concerned about how much support I can-promise recruits. I know you guys (members of the Marist team who were recruited) felt cheated because of what you were promised and what you actually got." Mark Wickham, one of the top recruits of the 7.9 team, agrees. " I picked this school over places like The University of Houston and Georgia University- a lot of big name schools, some promising full rides because I didn't want the pressure of a scholarship right away. My aid was supposed to increase gradually; instead it's been cut." •-

However, a large amount of the [athletic budget, including ful lscholar-•shjps,: wj iL^e jppured,jntQjhe„ basket-, /ball program: This also means that the ' money that the cross-country team has for gravelling expenses wi l l , as in the past, be extremely limited. For ex­

ample, for a trip to the University of In­diana, Pa. Invitational, each team member was given only $10 for five meals. •'•*

"The budget wi l l have to be doubl­ed," suggests Mark Wickham. " I t 's ridiculous-$10 for four or five meals. When you make the decision to go to Division I you should take into con­sideration the other teams." Ron Gad-ziala, who has qualified twice for the NCAA Division II National Cross-Country Championships, was also critical about the amount of money allotted to the cross-country team. "It> could have been a little better. I thought it was pretty low when the athletic department didn't want to pay to send a coach with me to the Na­tionals." Coach Mayerhofer could not go because of his teaching job at Roosevelt H.S. After Athletic Director Ron Petro found this out, he sug­gested that Ron go by himself, " i t wasn't until the day before that I found out anyone was going with me. It took a lot of negotiation to convince them that a coach was needed," said Gad-ziala.

The Running Red Foxes felt that the facilities for cross-country here at Marist, or rather " lack of faci l i t ies" as one of them put it, needs to be improv­ed. All of them agreed that a decent outdoor track was essential for attrac­ting top notch high school runners, as well as providing a site that would lure respectable Division I track schools here to compete.

Marist College President Dennis Murray, in a meeting with Mark Wickham and cross-country manager Kevin - McTernan, questioned the benefits of a track. McTernan recalls some of President Murray's sen­timents: "He sees that the track-estimated cost $300,000-is too expen-

Basketball Last week there were five unbeaten*

teams in the Intramural Basketball League, but as of this writing only two teams can make that claim: the Mc­Cann team, with a record of 4-0 and F-Troop, with a record of 3-0. The Mc­Cann team defeated Team A (previous­ly unbeaten) 69-60 behind the scoring of Joe Gaudio's twenty-points. Billy Gillespie led Team A with thirty-five points (four points 'shy of the in­tramural record). The McCann team also dumped Disco Stranglers. F-: Troop was awarded a win when 5th floor Leo folded.

Volleyball Confusion, an excess of players on

a roster and a lack of team concept were the words Bob O'Connor, In­tramural Director, used to describe the lack of interest in the volleyball league. "There is no league. Right now people are just playing who ever comes down. There wil l be no campus champion." Year after year, volleyball se'erhs. to be the sport with the least amount of interest. • T h e r e is a new game that is invading Marist called Wailyball. It is played in the handball courts and is played like Volleyball. It wil l soon be time to register for Wailyball, so don't miss out. For further information, contact the Intramural Director at the McCann Center. .

quick buck, publicity and instant super fame for a small col lege." Concerning the cost, Mark Wickham said that " the committment should be made now, it 's just going to cost more next year."

C r o s s - c o u n t r y c o a c h ^ B o b Mayerhofer expressed disappoint­ment at the delay of the building of the track, and disagreed with President Murray's view that the track's util ity wil l be limited. "The track would be a fantastic bridge between Marist and the community. Members of the stu­dent body and community would be able to use it anytime, even when the track or cross-country team is using it. How many times can students or com­munity members get in to use the basektball court? It would also be a fantastic site for a high school or col­legiate championship meet, which would mean great exposure for the school."

Team members also agreed that the attitude of campus officials and ad­ministrators toward the cross-country team leaves much to be desired. For .ex.arop.le.,_eye.ry year•Jthe.JMa.rj.s.t Cross; ;• Country team hosts a high school in­vitational that attracts some two thou­sand high school student athletes. This year, to facil i tate the meet, sec­tions of the fence that now runs along the road on the south end of campus had to be temporarily removed. The Marist cross-country coach hounded campus officials for weeks to get the necessary posts removed, yet it wasn't unti l the final hours before the meet that campus officials acted. Probably, because they realized that, should something happen to those high school runners, Marist could face a lawsuit.

Manager McTernan expressed his discontent with President Murray's ap­parently passive attitude toward the Invitational. "Even though he was on campus for a football game, wbich he admits he wasn't invited to, he didn't go to the Invitational because we didn't invite him. Also, with that many students there, you'd think he'd be

wil l ing to make sure that things went smoothly. The combined crowds of the game and the Invitational provided a definite need for Porto-Johns. Despite being given the day first, we took the burden of the expense for them. Ideally^the athletic department should have paid for them since they were the one who scheduled both events for the same day."

McTernan also recalls an incident in which the seemingly cavalier attitude of campus officials toward cross­country almost caused the Marist team to miss a meet. "One time we had to drive around looking for gas for the van at 7:30 on a Sunday morning. When we found an open gas station. Marist didn't have an account there and the guys had to pay for the gas themselves. Ironically, when the coach went to complain about the van not being fil led up, they bitched at him for going to a station where Marist didn't have an account."

The Marist cross-country team has turned in one exemplary season after another aha" in point of fact',' is~the win-ningest team in Marist history. However, many of the teams members are skeptical as to whether or not that tradition can continue in light of the decision to move to Division I for the sake of only the basketball team. " I don't see the Marist cross-country pro­gram going anywhere," comments Mark Wickham. " I think that the other sports are going to fade and it's because the administration won't help them out. The basketball team has at least six or seven scholarships to give out a year as opposed to none for the other sports." Ron Gadziala was a lit­tle less crit ical, but sti l l had some reservations about the move. " I don't think it wil l benefit anyone-at least not yet ! " However, manager Kevin McTer­nan seemed to sum up the feelings of all the faculty, coaches, students and athletes who are a bit uneasy about the Division I decision. " I just hope we didn't bit off more than we can chew."

Mens Basketball

iMireTiTJr̂ FTf

by Michael McCarthy

The Marist College men's basketball team split a pair of contests since we (the Circle) last informed you. First, on Wednesday night, they traveled to Monmouth and chopped an important Big Apple Conference game. Although Marist was trailing at halftime by four points, they came back to take ,the lead early on in the second half, only to have sloppy passing in the final minutes erase their chances of winn­ing. Todd Hasler, Marist's 6'3" (or so he says) scoring machine was shut down by a tight Monmouth defense, held to only nine points, including four in the last 30 seconds. Steve Smith led Marist scorers with 19, as Bill Dewinne was tops in rebounds.

The game was again attended by a busload full of fans, sponsored through the College Activities office.

On Monday night, Marist came up with some bright . news, topping Castleton State, 81-74.

- The game was never a contest as Marist went off to a 46-29 lead in the first half, highlighted by Bill Dewinne's

20 points and 8 rebounds. Marist seemed to be experimenting a lot in the first half, using all nine rostered players and even engineering a full court press. The inside play of Dewinne and the smooth, outside shooting of Steve Smith left Castleton State bewildered.

In the second half, Marist played its bench almost exclusively, resulting in being outscored in the half by 10 points. But the half did have its highlights for the home fans. Steve Smith had two impressive slam dunks, and the inspired play of senior Barry Jamison resulted in his season high scoring total of 12 points, shooting five of seven from the field including a picture perfect behind-the-back layup.

Bill Dewinne, who now needs only 44 points to set a Marist career scoring record, led all scorers with 26 and all rebounders with 13. Steve Smith add­ed 24 for Marist, while Scott Sterling led the Castleton effort with 14.

Marist wi l l play Southampton in a Big Apple Conference game at home on Wednesday and travel to Maine on Saturday.

Skiers Victorious by Joan "Schatzie" Gasparovic

Due to its successful season, the Marist College Ski Team has qualified to'compete in the National'Collegiate Ski Association Eastern Champion­ships, which will be held this weekend, February 21 & 22 at.Cannon Mountain, New Hampshire. ^ -

Last Friday, February 13th, the team raced in the,Northeastern Collegiate Ski Conference League Qualifiers at Brodie Mountain, Mass. In the.men's giant slalom, John Levy grabbed se­cond place while Mike Haggerty, Peter Jackson, Rich" Kline, and Bill Fit­zgerald finished-ninth; tenth, fourteen­th, and seventeenth, respectively. In

, the men's slalom, Levy placed third, Kline ^ook -eighth, and-Fitzgerald finished sixteenth: Haggerty dis­qualified in that event. The women's team took second overall in the giant slalom.with the following individual results: Linda Panaro 2nd, Phyllis Lankering 4th, Schatzie Gasparovic 12th, and Colleen Hollywood 16th. In the women's slalom, Phyllis Lankering took second -place, while Panaro,

Gasparovic, and Hollywood each dis­qualified. -

The compilation of results from the NCSC. League Qualifiers and past meets .held this season gives Marist a first place standing in its league. If the team does well at.Cannon Mtn. this weekend, it will be on its way to Lake Placid to participate in the National Collegiate Ski Association National Championships at Whiteface Moun­tain, March 5-8.

Red Fox Women Defeated by Paul Palmer

The Marist College Womans' Basketball team was defeated Mon­day night by Siena College 80-57. Siena, the number 1 rated team in Divk sion II in N.Y. and sixteenth in the na­tion, controlled the game from its outset. Using awell balanced offense of inside layups and long range jumpers the Indians dominated play. Relying on the games-leading scorer, Vicki Aromondo, Siena jumped to a-half time lead of 43-29.

The second half started on a little better note as far as Marist was con­cerned. The Red Foxes held Siena scoreless for the first six minutes but failed to take advantage of the-oppor­tunity by scoring themselves. The full court press employed by Marist was very effective early on in the half but soon their opponents broke it open and once again went on a scoring spree. By continually denying Marist a second shot Siena was able to control the boards and with it the tempo of the game.

~ Marist managed .to pull within twelve points half way through the se­cond half, but were for the most part unable to'sustain their attack. Added to this some clutch foul shooting Siena was able to increase their lead to as much as twenty-three points.

Leading scorer for the Red. Foxes was Laurie Herebenak with sixteen, followed ::- by : MaryPat..: Sherwopds' eleven. Siena was paced by Aromoh-dos' game-high nineteen and Mary Gaudreaus'eighteen.. >

After the game coach Susan Deer said that she felt that if Marist had generated a little more offense early in the game they may have given Siena a run for their money. Furthermore she said, "We held them scoreless for the first six or so minutes of the second

half but once again failed to generate some offense of our own."

The next home game for Marist will be this Saturday and. then again oh Monday night.

A Closer Look Itv ll-irrv I,,

CA TCH22: The> Marist Story Say you are a club.in this school, in

this particular case the Marist College Hockey Club, and you need money for your sport. You submit to the Finan­cial Aid Board an original budget of $7,235.00, only to find that the board has only $13,000.00 for all the_clubs that year. If you happen to be stan­ding, please take a seat, because you're not going to believe the rest of the story.

The club last September submitted a new budget, asking this time for only $6,683.00. The FAB, headed by Marty Smith, agreed to give the club $600 for the year if the team could give to the board a percentage of the $600, which would come to $120. Hockey club cap­tain, John Kurtz, (the team has no :

coach or manager) recently told me that the team only received $480, and that they thought it was for just one semester, and not the full year. After ironing out that discrepancy, the team also realized that the financial figure that they proposed, to the FAB was unrealistic, and submitted a third budget, this on handed in only two weeks ago asking for $2,100 for the en­tire season.

• Now if this ail doesn't sound confus­ing to"you, then maybe you should try your hand in accounting, because many people including the hockey" players, the FAB, Jim Raimo of the Council of Student Leaders, and Dean Cox of Student Affairs seeem to be slightly baffled, if notmystified by the entire fiasco. To•'• go through the unabridged version of how the hockey team's first budget was $5,135 more than their third is actually not-impor­tant at this stage of the game. Ahh, speakingof the game, why isn't the hockey team playing right now? Well the reason is really quite simple.

John Kurtz informed me that the team needs $1,000 immediately to play out their remaining 12 games. "The team could rasie $200 by having each player chip in money, and then I hoped that the FAB would be willing-to give us the remaining $800," commented Kurtz. The club already owes $500 to the league,.and will owe another $500 at the end of this month. When Kurtz asked the board for the money, he was told by the FAB and Dean Cox that right now it would be impossible to

come up with even the $500 needed to paytheleague. - ; \̂-•-•.--

; There are 15 clubs asking for $3,400," which is what's left of, the FAB's

_ money for the year, in a meeting with Jim Raimo, Marty Smith, and Dean Cox, I was told that no money would be given to the club unless it can assure the FAB that they would finan­cially be able to finish, out/their season. "As of now, the figure we have for them is $300, and even if we were to give them that, along with the $200 from the players .themselves, they would still be short $500," said Raimo.

"We don't want to see anyjclub fold, and we do know people enjoy wat­ching them play and that the club itself has done a.fine job (their record is 3-5 with the last three wirisjn a row), but. we can't have clubs start something and not finish it. If they don't come to us with clear financial backing for the other $500, it would be a waste of the original money we are to give them." - -•"-'>•" ;"

Dean Cox added that the FAB knew about the financial trouble of the team onlylast week, and that not enough

time was spent trying to figure out 'how they could raise the money. "At 1:30 last Thursday John came to me asking for $500 by 5:00 that night. Team members were .supposed to have come up with the money along with several ventures," but that all fell

-through. I told him it was impossible," and that I would' see if we could get money somewhere else, .but in that short a time no money could be raised. I spoke to the League President, and all the games that have been missed will be re-scheduled if the club can come up with the rest of the money."
